The club opened its doors to the public at the June meeting putting on a show of members' work and demonstrations of the art of woodturning, pyrography and marquetry.
Pictures show a selection of the work on show. My apologies if I have missed anyone - I'll catch you next year.

Practice every day and you can produce (marquetry) pictures like this! Yes, it is all wood!!

Joe Platt's amazing polygonal (I'm not sure that's the right word!) models create a lot of interest.
Chairman John looking for a cheap pen!!
Quality doesn't come cheap!
Digby Owen with a varied collection of bowls. I thought his "Blasted Ash Bowl" had in some way annoyed him and then discovered he had used a sand blasting technique in its production!
Lynn Fearns adds pyrography to her many skills.
Peter Fantham shows off some of his (large scale) turnings.
Last but not least, a selection of Chairman John Oakes' work.
